HER Planet Earth’s primary objective is to raise awareness and funds for underprivileged women affected by climate change, while WOAM aims to empower women who have been subjected to violence and abuse. These challenging expeditions involve trekking across remote and untouched places around the world, from the Arctic Circle to Antarctica, from mountains in the Himalayas to deserts in the Middle East and Africa. Christine’s accomplishments include:
  • The world’s first crossing of the Danakil Desert on bikes
  • The world’s first stand-up-paddle board descent of rivers in the Kingdom of Bhutan
  • The first all-female migration with Nenets reindeer herders of Siberia
